Here are some sales and dates:

PS4 launch end of 2013 in UK: 530k
PS4 launch end of 2013 in Germany: 250k
PS4 end of June in Germany: 540k
PS4 9th September in UK: 1m
PS4 21th October in Germany: 1m

Something is very wrong here.

PS4 was extremely supply constrained last year and upto April/May this year.

PS4 was supply constrained until March in Germany.
That still doesn't explain why Germany should sell way more PS4 form July to November than the UK did

460k units in three and a half month is just unbeliveable.
The PS4 sold 915k units form July - September in the US + 2 weeks October (probably around 135k). That would result in 1050k
Germany nearly sold half of us sales for the same Timeframe?

 

Why is the PS4 selling so well? Why!!?!?! It's probably just Sony lying, bet they're actually just all on the shelves rotting away.

It still can be wrong, bad wording, or anything else.
Either that 540k end of June figure is wrong, or this 1m figure is wrong. Both can't be true.

Ofcourse both can be true.

September and October already are better than average months for console sales and several high profile games released in that period.

Ioi will ask for breakdown by cities before adjusting the numbers.

And kowen, yesterday you said that it was childish to doubt company numbers without counter proof. Where is yours to justify the suspicion?

I still try to find the original source
This is the neogaf source: http://jpgames.de/2014/11/playstation-4-knackt-die-millionen-marke-in-deutschland/
And they don't have a even a source

Other sites link to neofag as source.

Anyone found the orignal PR?

So PS4 undertrackd by a whooping 200k+ in Germany alone.
Surely it is also undertracked by at least 300k in France and 500k in UK.

Which means it could be undertracked by more than 1 or 2 millions in Europe.

Maybe it's the same all over the world ! Undertracked by a couple of millions everywhere else !


That translates to... Sony will "shortly" reach 20 millions PS4 sold.

yeah!As you saw, it s weird for me too!From 540k as of 30th of June to 1m as of 21th October!However,it s an official announcement and if it isn t sold-in,it s quite impressive!Everyone can be able to doubt if it is sold to consumers,because for example nintendo says in each FQ a plain:we sold x wii us,but they mean sold to stores(shipments)

Well it's probably shipped numbers. Still undertracked by 100-150k is very possible.
